A novel human oncogene, designated VAV, has been recently characterized. This oncogene was generated by a rearrangement within the 5' coding sequences of a normal cellular gene, the VAV proto-oncogene. The normal VAV gene is specifically expressed in hematopoietic cells regardless of their differentiation lineage. We now report that the VAV locus has been localized in the human genome at chromosome 19p12----19p13.2 by analysis of its segregation pattern in rodent-human somatic cell hybrids and by chromosomal in situ hybridization. The VAV locus might be closely linked to the insulin receptor (INSR) locus, as suggested by comigration of INSR and VAV high-molecular-weight DNA fragments after pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The VAV chromosomal assignment is of interest because chromosome region 19p13 is involved in different karyotypic abnormalities in a variety of malignancies including melanomas and leukemias. The identification of a novel proto-oncogene that maps to that region will enable us to define whether VAV is involved in any of the translocations observed.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of tumours originating from the cutaneous infiltration of clonal malignant T cells. VAV1 is a hematopoietic signal transducer and an oncogene in various cancers, however, the relevance of aberrant VAV1 expression in CTCL pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the expression pattern and underlying pathogenic mechanisms of VAV1 in CTCLs.

Objective: The aim was to investigate the potential relationship between Vav1 protein and prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Samples were collected from 96 patients with HCC. For each patient, cancerous tissue and adjacent non-cancerous tissue were obtained.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists need new ways to prevent and treat a type of throat cancer called esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
- In this study, researchers found out that a protein called DDX5 helps this cancer grow by working with another molecule called VAV3, making it stick around longer in cells.
- They discovered a substance called Methylnissolin-3-β-D-O-glucoside (MD) that can slow down the cancer by targeting DDX5 and stopping it from helping the cancer grow.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women and accounts for approximately 15% of all cancer deaths among women globally. The underlying mechanism of BC patients with small tumor size and developing distant metastasis (DM) remains elusive in clinical practices.
Methods: We integrated the gene expression of BCs from ten RNAseq datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to create a genetic prediction model for distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in BC patients with small tumor sizes (≤ 2 cm) using weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) analysis and LASSO cox regression.

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a RNA virus belonging to Retroviridae family and is associated with the development of various diseases, including adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Aside from HAM/TSP, HTLV-1 has been implicated in the development of several disorders that mimic auto-inflammation. T-cell migration is important topic in the context of HTLV-1 associated diseases progression.
